south, outdoor fire restrictions have been put in place following two wildfires
in New Jersey over the past few days, which are now 100% contained.
According
to the New Jersey Forest
Fire Service, all fires in wooded areas are banned, unless it's in an elevated
stove.
The New Jersey Forest Fire
Service says charcoal fires are also
not allowed, and no agriculture
burning. That's for Divisions B and C, which is much of the southern part of
the state.
There's a ban on open
burning in effect until further notice.
The two forest fires in
Little Egg Harbor and Pemberton burned around 1,000 acres in recent days.
New Jersey is in what's
considered a high-risk period.
